JAM’s hedge fund seeks to generate maximum appreciation through a hedged portfolio of mostly equity securities with a focus on US financial stocks. The fund sells short stocks they believe are overvalued and uses other instruments to neutralize market risk so that the performance of the fund reflects their stock picking results rather than the fluctuations and trends of the broader stock market.

Functions as a College/University

JAM Equity Partners seeks to make and manage long term, high return investments in small to mid-sized, privately-help financial services companies. The firm also looks for investments in publicly-traded, illiquid fallen-angels. JAM will evaluate investments outside of the financial services industry should a compelling opportunity arise in either the branded consumer products or transportation industries. Companies should have viable business models and positive market momentum and adhere to JAM's value-driven and contrarian investment philosophy. JAM invests in companies with market-cap less than $250 million and trade at deep discounts to long-term realizable value. They seek opportunities to assist companies in evaluating going-private transactions. JAM considers investments in assets such as loan portfolios or residual interests in performing or underperforming loan portfolios. Investment size is $2 million to $10 million. They prefer a 3 to 5 year time horizon. JAM focuses on Southern California and the Western states. The firm will also consider investments on the East Coast.
